NYC Health + Hospitals/Queens announced that $1M in funding was secured in the Fiscal Year 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act to support creation of a new outpatient dialysis center at the hospital.
The total estimated cost for the entire project is $2.62 million. This includes the cost of renovation of the existing space and new equipment.
The new center answers a significant medical need in the community given the high number of patients with end-stage renal disease or kidney failure. It will also allow patients with chronic renal dialysis needs, or those waiting for a kidney transplant, access to dialysis treatments on the Queen’s Hospital campus. This would allow NYC Health + Hospitals/Queens to further close the gap in delivering services and addressing disparities in healthcare delivery and access. An existing space will be used to house the new center. Read more.
